AEW’s All-Atlantic Championship: A Review
•
A lot of stuff happened on Dynamite this week, some good and some bad. Tucked in between all of that was a pretty good match between Pac and Buddy Murphy, two of AEW’s more disconcertingly jacked flippybois. When announced, things were pretty straight: another Death Triangle/House of Black clash. Before the match, however, the…

Will Ospreay’s AEW debut is probably a positive for the promotion, but what about me?

AEW World Champion CM Punk Injured, Requires Surgery
•
When CM Punk tweeted earlier today that he had “an important announcement in regards to the @aew world championship, and my career,” it was easy to assume the worst.

Eddie Kingston’s Gasoline Can: A Review
•
Wrestling is great, truly the highest form of art and most virtuous of sports. Paraphrasing every Wikipedia article on every wrestling show ever, it is a literal battle between good and evil, acted out by men, women, and non-binary people who have sworn blood oaths to the lighter or darker sides of human nature.…

Britt Baker’s Johnny Depp T-shirt Is a Fun Reminder That You Can’t Escape Anything
•
I’m going to begin this piece by acknowledging that last week, Fanfyte ran two reviews that were decidedly in favor of an Abortion Rights Are Human Rights! shirt that CM Punk wore on an episode of AEW Dynamite. This is a political statement he’s now made twice when performing in the state of Texas,…

Wardlow: A Review
•
Wardlow is a Large Man Who Does Powerbombs. If I were the person responsible for fixing the firmament of professional wrestling, Large Men Who Do Powerbombs would be a constellation with all of the coolest stars to watch, your Nashes and your Sids and your Vaders and your Awesomes and your Batistas. The whole world…

MJF Whipping Wardlow: A Review
•
Last night on Dynamite, Maxwell Jacob Friedman whipped Wardlow a little north of 10 times. It ruled. The last time MJF whipped somebody, his victim was Cody Rhodes. Back then, there was a two-fold objective: show off Cody’s new neck tattoo, and establish the fact that Cody would preserver anything for a shot at…
